These coarse filters and the air stones are SO much better than the ones I was using. I can't believe how quiet they are! And I can hide them with an Anubias and they totally blend in. The filter-picking critters even like them better. NOW please, do a nerdy version where you explain lift, and best placement in a tank with one or two filters for different size tanks. LIke 1 filter in a 10 gal; 1 filter in 45Tall, 2 filters in 60 long, etc. LOVED the other filter where you show the cleaning process and water the plants. Thanks!

I'll see if I can tackle that some day in the future. But if you have one, center of the aquarium as much as makes sense with decor. If you have two, about 1/3 in from each end is best. Mostly it's about just having them, I like to hide behind plants as well and they'll work in any position well enough.

I'd like to make a suggestion to you. About 25 years back I had just started dating the woman I eventually married and I gave her a 55 gallon tank I wasn't using. It had a really nice stand and matching wooden top that I had built so it was an excellent piece of furniture that fit in a nitch in her den. She had never had fish before so I took her out and bought about a one or two dozen african cichlid fry. I didn't want the tank to be any real work for her as a novice so I purchased two of the coffee can sized sponge filters. If you notice most are large enough at the top to put a section of 1" pvc and it fits tightly. I cut the pvc about four inches short of the top of the tank and placed a power head on each one. No noisy air pumps that vibrate all over the place and no filter floss to change out frequently. I gave her one set of directions. Each week draw out around four gallons of water, pull out one sponge filter and wash it out in the old water, then put it back in the tank and replace the four gallons with fresh water. Swapping which filter you cleaned every week. That tank stayed crystal clear for years and the fish grew to adult size healthy and happy. You don't need the air bubbles flowing up for oxygen exchange just the water flow across the surface from the power heads. I will say this will work best in a much deeper front to back tanks where you can hide the filters behind rocks or plants so they don't show.

It is my very first sponge filter, after seeing so many reviews and people recommending them I decided to give it a try. It’s so nice that we can refer to these videos for help with the set up. I’m still getting a bubble come out from the top of the sponge every once and awhile. I made sure the tube to the air stone really short as directed in the video. I’m sure I just some fine tuning to do. I hope I put it in the proper place within my aquarium, that was my biggest question. Time will tell!!! ☺️👍 🧽

A couple months ago, I rescued a large black moor goldy, and had to set up an emergency tank to house him. I didn’t have a spare filter and didn’t have the cash on hand to buy one. Nowhere around where I live sells sponge filters, so I built one with a pvc pipe, a spare air pump, and a pond pump prefilter sponge. It is a total workhorse, but after watching this I could optimize it. Now it works even better.

It's a good idea but Cory is a smart guy. I learn a lot from him about fish and business, I think there are two main reasons. 1. It would increase the overall cost / price by quite a bit. Ziss is the maker of the never clogs, he has someone build the sponges for him. This means he would have to pay someone at the warehouse to sit there and cut tubing, open never clogs, install them and repackage. 2. Not worth the cost trade off because half of the reason he did his own sponges was to create flexibility for people. That Said...Cory, you guys should definitely sell component parts, such as different size lift tubes.

I’m not from the US but I have Mini USB air pumps similar to what you offer on your store. I power two sponge filters rated for 35 gallon tanks with one of those using the air stone method and it’s fairly efficient. I had to modify my sponge filters, but it does great, is a LOT silent, and saves me money. I run 6 air pumps in my studio. The fizzy noise from the air stones are louder than all 6 pumps combined. I don’t even hear the pumps at all. I recently turned the old air pumps I used before and didn’t know how I lived with it running at the background as I worked. If anyone is using the USB air pumps, I highly recommend having a sponge filter with air stones.

i have a co op sponge filter in my 20 long and i love it. ran about 10 feet of co op tubing to my 5 gallon shrimp tank and learned my little tetra 10 air pump wasnt enough

I used to overlook sponge filters. But now I loooooove them and it's the only type of filter that I use.

Shortened the tubing for my air stone by almost an inch during today’s water change after seeing this video. Had it allll the way at the bottom before. Bubbles are so much more even and less aggressive now! No more GLUG GLUG! Love it. Thanks for a really great and informative video! Now tell me how to keep freeze dried shrimps from getting EVERYWHERE lol
